Karasen had been living within the alleyways of Connaloth Kingdom for months.. No, years.. He couldn't remember how long it had been, but he was tired of living in hiding! Stepping out of the shadows into the light of day, he looked out from under his grimy cloak, his hair hanging in front of his face. "Let there be fire!" He shouted as he knelt down, pressing his hand against the hard stone floor of the street. Several of the citizens had been looking at him strangely, their eyes widening as they heard what he had said. Suddenly, the ground around Karasen's hand sparked, several trails of white hot fire shooting across the floor towards several of the citizens....
"MAGE!!!!" Shouted every citizen within the area, turning the other way and running for their lives. The guards of the castle would no doubt heard the panicked shouting of these citizens and come running soon. Until then, Karasen would have a little fun. The trails of white hot fire that hadn't incinerated a few of the citizens had melted right through stone walls, causing them to collapse in on themselves easily. Karasen laughed as he looked to the right, seeing a lit torch perched on the side of a building, no doubt used to light the night streets. Someone must have forgotten all about it... Oh well...
Holding his right hand out towards the torch, the flames began to move in a strange pattern, rising from the torch quickly, flying over to him. Karasen was able to hold one end of the flame as the rest fell to the floor like a whip. Grinning, he gave the whip a simple snap to the right, a small stone house being ripped in two in the blink of an eye. "I wonder if the guards will come now..." He thought boredly.
Tildia had been wandering aimlessly for hours, and now had run into a well-sized kingdom. (Note: This is seperate from Tildia's main plot. Therefor, she won't know you even if you are in the other plot.)
But just as soon as she stepped into the area, bolts of fire cam erushing past her. She put up her sword (Keito, as some would remember) and it immidiately formed a light blue shield around her entire body. "What the h-..." She looked around in the mass confusion and saw a lone figure. Still, and holding a whip of fire. Then, noticing the people running around, she knew exactly where she was. Connlaoth. The city that despised magic users and thier kin alike. Even though she hated the idea of the kingdoms standards, what he was doing was still wrong.
"You there! Sir!" She said, as she walked towards him. When she was a few feet in front of him she placed one hand on her keito, and let the other fall limp. The heat was getting to her, and she could sense something unpleasant about this boy...
"Sir please. I'm asking you to stop this nonsense... What have these people done to you tha-" She raised her arm to touch her forehead as an icy aura began to emit from her body. "What have they done to you that you would need to act so cruel?"
Before he could even give an answer she took a deep breath and unfloded her wings, quickly. As if they were to serve as a fan. The icy aura died down, and she seemed to be more comfortable with the surroundings now that she wasn't constricting herself. "Sir..." She said again. "Please answer me. As you can tell... i'm not quite fond of heat."
A few feathers fell from her wings, covered in icy layers. They must have gotten too frozen and heavy, and fell off. She herself seemed to be doing quite fine, and she nearly forgot that the citizens were scurrying about this way and that in terror. She was now more interested in the boys srange aura. It was faint, but then again, she wasnt a complete angel.
Desdemona had been leaning against a wall when there was a quiet commotion. The silence where she stood heeded when she took a few steps towards the yelling. Her boots kicked up slight dirt as she walked towards the man and his whip. There was a stripe of fire on the ground and when she went to it she stood on it, her feet just a few inches away from each side of the strip. The small flames seemed to die down around where she stood. An evil sounding, crackly voice came from her. "What're you doing?" She asked. Desdemona's hand spread out behind her as the crowd closed in on her. An icy-blue 'whoosh' came out of her palm and blew the people back behind her. A large gasp came from them as the ones blown back took no more steps towards her. Instead guards went after her also.
"So?" Des asked in her crackly voice. She sensed demonic vibes coming from him. Her eyes darted to Tildia as she sprouted wings. Desdemona rubbed her eyes and rolled them. "That's cute," she commented sarcastically. "Angel girl wants to save Connlaoth." She chuckled and turned back to Karasen and waited.
Tildia was shocked at her comment, and her face exclaimed it. Then suddenly she scowled and rolled her eyes as she stared back at Karasen, but spoke to Desdemona. "So what are you doing here then... If you aren't here to correct this little problem Miss?" She was polite in her voice, but her face was what carried the attitude. And her hand grasped her keito even tighter, as her wings seemed to tighten in the muscles beneath the feathers.
"I'm not saving Connlaoth if that's what you're thinking," Des said rolling her eyes. "Why would I want to? It's opposed to magic." She sighed and blasted the guards back as they ran up. "Does it look like I am?" Des said sarcastically and gestured towards the guards. Her eyes turned to Tildia's hand as she grasped the Keito tighter. Desdemona did the same but clutched her sword's uniquely-designed handle. "So," she nodded at Karasen again, "What are you doing?"
(Sorry its so short, its 11:36)
((Don't worry. ^_^ lol Sometimes shorter is better... O_O That did'nt sound right.))
Tildia simply huffed as her grip tigtened only slightly. "Well, then miss... What are you doing?" She said barely noticing the numerous houses catching on fire. She would have stopped the flame, but she felt the need to keep her eyes on the boy. Then she simply paused and awaited his answer to all of thier questions.
Karasen looked to the two girls, the look on his face under his hood cold... Emotionless.. "I'm making these people pray for their prejudiced ways against our people over these years.... And I'm having fun.." He said as the whip disappeared from his right hand, his eyes shifting between them, and then to Tilde's wings. "So... An angel...? No.. You don't smell as pure, you're only a fraction of an angel..."
Tilda may have been staring at him nearly the whole time but she was surprised when he spoke, and his words almost confused her. "Er... uh. Y-yes. I am. But back to the cause of the people. Sir I know these people were wrong but is it not thier right to express thier opinions? Besides if magic users know that these peope are that ignorant as to hate magic users, then why come here? It's almost thier own fault. So I'm asking you sir. Just leave. I will put out the flame, and leave afterwards." She had stopped talking for a great deal of time when her eyes widened and she noticed exactly what he was. "D... Demon blood. That scent..." Never in her life had she came across one and actually conversated with it. "Sir. Excuse me but are you a..."
Karasen's eyes flashed under his hood only for a moment as he reached up, gripping the sides of his hood and pulling it back slowly. His unique hair covered his eyes from view as he grinned, though he could see her perfectly. "Indeed.. I am a demon..." He said quietly as he held up his hand, five little bits of fire sparking up at the tips of his claws. "What gave you the first hint.." He said quietly, leaning towards her.
Was she to blush, or was she to freak out and run? Then there was always the option of smacking him for getting so close. She did what she felt was best and stood her ground, a slight gulp exscaped her throat. "It wasn't the fire if thats what your hinting at... Sir..." 'Great... I am quite the brilliant one arent I?' She thaught to herself. 'But what do I do now... He smells so... DIFFERENT. It's like nothing i've ever-' Suddenly she was stopped dead in her thaughts as she noticed the sparks again. "Sir if you... If you are meaning to fight me. I would really rather not.. You see i'm just. I'm..." There she went again. Loosing focus. I would say how stupid she is for acting so childish, but its not her fault. Deprivity of the male gender for your entire life tends to do things like that to such a sheltered girl. I continue...
Tildia loosened the grip on her keito to show that she was barely as interested in a fight as she was before. "I'm..." She raised a foot and stepped back only tiny bit. And now that he was farther away again, she was confortable again. "I'm just looking for my brother sir. So please..." She made a irritated, half-worried, quiant, and polite bow, with an unsure expression on her face. She never finished the sentence.
Laughing as the girl stepped back, the white hot flames upon Karasen's claws grew even higher, the heat radiating throughout the entire street. "Hmm... Searching for your brother..?" He asked, somewhat interested in this. "Tell me.. Is your brother as hateful against us as the other people of this village...?" This girl seemed almost childish.. It was funny, like she had never seen a man before.. It was just funny, but Karasen resisted laughing. As she stepped back, he let the flames die down as his hand drifted to the hilt of his sword. "Tell me... Does death cause fear within you..."
She wanted to say: Hell yeah! Of course 'death strikes fear in me'! What the heck do you think!?
But she didnt. She just faught back the red her cheeks wanted to show, and said quickly, "My brother?! Oh... heh. No, You see I don't know him. He was given away before I was born. So I need to find him..." Her hands were clasped together like a porclain doll, and she almost looked as if she were about fall down onto her knees and begs for mercy. But her face kept a strongwilled exprssion that also somehow carried conusion in its frame.
The silent sound of a hard surface sliding along a slick, smooth surface could be heard throughout the burning street as Karasen pulled his blade from the sheathe in which it rested. Holding his blade out quietly, Karasen grinned. "Quite a magnificent work of craftsmanship, isn't it.. An indestructible weapon which has the capacities to wield ultimate power...." He swung the blade quite easily through the air, the very wind seeming to be cut in two as a thin slice cut through a building behind her. "Such a great weapon.. Just think of what it could do to one such as yourself with the slightest twitch of my wrist.." A sly grin had crossed his face.
She almost wet herself. "Uh.. Y-yeah. It's brilliant. Now ould you please get it away from me? Please... I uh..." Tildia tilted her head back as she let her hands free of eachother and let them fall to her sides. "Please not any closer, you or the sword... Please. I am after all... Asking you nicely. So if you don't mind..."
Her breath was getting heavy. Was she going to faint? Die? Puke? What? She only wished she knew. "Sir..." She said as her eyes began to drift along the word and catch their sillouettes.
He laughed, sensing her fear. "Are you afraid, girl..?" He asked, bringing his blade near his face and tracing his tongue along the edge. "Still tastes like the last thing I slayed with it..." He said quietly, letting the sword swing slowly to the ground so the tip only made contact. Slowly, he traced the tip of the blade along the stone street as a loud scratching noise echoed through the burning area. "Such devastation caused by one demon... Weak humans.."
Ta-daa! She turned as red a paint when he licked sword as if it were some sort of a childs plaything. "I..." Tildia said covering her cheeks and looking down. "I..." Everytime she said it her voice seemed to trail off quieter and quieter.
Finally she dropped down into a crouch on the ground in front of him. Her hands still covering her face, and her feet holding her up off the ground. Her skirt had plopped right over her legs perfectly, just enough to cover her thighs. "I..."
She couln'dt think of thing to say. What was wrong with her? The first thing that came to mind was his demoinc aura. "It must be that..." She said aloud. Almost as if she agreed with being terrified.
*blinks slowly* can I come in? just for a little while, until we get the other plot underway? I'd be bringing in Neo. her bio is in my siggy. *begs*
((Um. I'd ask Maelstrom. I did'nt make this one. ^_^))
As his eyes fell on her cheeks, Karasen couldn't help but laugh. "So you're just some scared little girl...." He said as she crouched down, her hands on her face. He proceeded to do the same, couching down while holding his sword up as its tip dug slightly into the thick stones. "What's wrong... Embarassed? Afraid? I can't be that scary..." He said. He threw his head back as his hair flew back also, staying upon his head in a sort of flipped back manner. His eyes were now visible to her. They were orange, the pupils shaped like thin, vertical, ovular slits. They were his only inhuman feature... Possibly part of his demonic form. He didn't know, he hadn't been able to access that form ever since his expulsion as a baby... His eyes then trailed off to the other girl. "What's it look like I'm doing? I'm destroying part of a castle ruled by racist mage haters..." He said, laughing.
(Go ahead. Join in.)
She thaught she was going to faint. "Gah!" Tildia exclaimed as she fell onto her butt, sword clanking as it fell completly back and tapped the armor on her leg. "Scared? Maybe... But I would have to say I don't lack braver-" She caught a glimpse of his eyes, and suddenly she wasn't afraid aymore. "Wow..." She said getting to her knees. "So pretty..." Her hand reached up for a moment as if she were about to move his face with her hand but she promptly pulled back. "Are they yours? Are they real? Where'd you get them?" A series of similar questions flowed out of her mouth while she stared at them in awe.
Karasen blinked as all he could hear were these stupid questions. After hearing enough of it, he simply put his hand forward, placing it over the girl's mouth. "Shh... Yes, they're real. They're mine. I've had them since birth." He felt that he could safely remove his hand from her mouth, hoping for her to be quiet. All of a sudden, something crashed over Karasen's back. It hadn't phased him, but it had really annoyed him. Standing up slowly, he turned, his eyes locked onto the guard that had slammed a wooden chair over his back. "You filthy wretch!" He shouted, holding up his hand as his fingers pressed together like a spike. "Die!" He said, launching his hand forward, his claws easily ripping through the guard's armor and plunging deep into his chest, erupting out through his back, the man's spinal cord in Karasen's grasp. "Never touch me again.." He said, pulling his hand back quickly through the large, gaping hole now within the guard's chest, his spinal cord still in Karasen's grasp. Turning back to the girl, he sighed, slinging the blood from his hand but not releasing the spinal cord. "Now where were we.."
Tildia sat silent on her knees. Suddenly she lifted and confused hand to her lips. "Wha-... what.... Why...." When he turned back her direction her thaughts immidiately went to his hand, covered in speckles of blood holding a mans spine. "Ah..." She said her eyes widening. "Ahhh." Then suddenly her voice got high-pitched and sounded even more like a little girl. "Ahhh~ !" She shouted as she closed her eyes and fell back otno her butt. "Why... wh...." She couldnt even get a whole question out. Tildia had experienced bloody battles before but never had she seen a mans spinal cord ripped from his body, and still being held in the hands of his undoer. 'Where did light in his eyes go? Why was it there in the first place?' She wondered. But she didn't say a word. She just sat ther confusd with a simple look on her face.
Neo arrived just as the other demon attacked the guard.
And she didn't like it.
"What did you do that for?" came a quiet, deadly monotone voice. It echoed slightly over the stone, reverberating over the castle.
Then suddenly, a massive (we's talking BIG), solid black magic bird rose from the ground not 3 feet from the dead man, it's wings outspread, it's feathers flickering with black magic. Slowly from the centre of the bird a form could be seen--a girl, the same age as Tildia, emerged. Neo's normally black eyes were glowing white, her cloak was outspread, like the wings of the bird her magic created. Glaring at the other demon, she swooped toward the dead guard, reached out a hand, (which, might I add, was covered in a glowing blue light) and touched his massive wounds. While she couldn't bring him back from the dead, she could make it a little...less disgusting. In a second the wounds had re-knit themselves, and she reached over and gently closed his eyes.
(I like dramatic entrances. lol)
Looking quietly over to the massive bird, Karasen let the spine fall to the ground, his eyes locked on the girl that had touched the corpse. "And who's this..." He asked quietly, slinging the remaining blood from his wrist. He hadn't seen anything like this magic in many years. Many, MANY years....
Somewhat thankfull his attenton was'nt on her anymore, and somewhat annoyed by what had just happened, her eyes too fell on the bird. But she had too many butterflies in her stomache to speak. She did however manage to get up and stand beside the boy beside her and gawk at the bird and the girl. "Sir.." She said still lost. "What is your name?" She actually cared all of a sudden, even if the blush hadnt left from her cheeks.
With his eyes still locked on the huge, black bird, Karasen spoke. "My name is unimportant unless you plan on being with me.. So you make the choice on whether you really want to know my name or not..." He said, pulling his large sword from its position in the stone floor. Who was controlling such a huge creature of black magic?
Supremly surprised at his response she dropped her jaw, and looked dead at him, "What do you mean?" Tildia had a abundance of thaughts floating in her head now. "Be with you!? Sir we... I just met you! You can't possibly mean..." Her wings scroled themselves slowly back into her back with a slight rustling sound. Then they were no longer visable.
Karasen nodded slightly, shutting his eyes slowly. "Then you do not need to know my name as of yet... Maybe some day in the future, but not this day..." He said in a quiet, almost disappointed tone of voice. "Now who is our friend here.....?"
She wanted to have a childish tantrum and stomp her feet right before kicking him in the head. But she did'nt, she remained calm as she tuned towards him. "I guess so. Maybe you'r right..." She then turned back around towards the bird and said, "But why would I care in the future, If right now... I'm only allowed to learn so much. Don't you think my interest would dwindle? Or do you even care. How do I know that caring at would'nt lead me to a death such as that mans?" Tildia turned her head down to him with a slightly assured look in her eyes.
Karasen nodded once again, a sly look now upon his face. "Indeed.. But you will also remember this day, no doubt... And soon my name will be known across this world.. You'll hear about me once again some day..." He could barelly keep himself from laughing in an insane tone.
"So." She said now feeling more confident. "Why would I care about someone whose name will be spread through the lands, if I never knew his name? Besides, i'm not at all good with faces." Tildia dusted her butt off from having sat on the ground and placed her hand on her sword again. She kept her glare on the bird and the man, and the woman. The her eyes floated back to the boy. She almost glared before looking back at the others.
Karasen laughed, turning to her slowly. "You won't need to know my face.... My name is Karasen... And you'll know by my eyes... Nothing else in this world has eyes such as mine..." He said as his eyes began to glow slightly, clearly visible to her as he sheathed his sword slowly, deciding that it was time.. Lifting his right hand into the air, his palm faced the sky. "Alam... Sorientium.... Calianthis.... Sorrinthiris... Null..." It was a quiet incantation from an ancient text. Karasen was possibly the only being in this world with the knowledge of such a powerful spell, but he simply kept repeating his incantation over and over again, louder and louder each time... What was he going to do?
Neo came over while they were talking. Slowly the bird disappeared as she walked slowly toward the two, her eyes still glowing, as well as her hands, which had turned from blue healing to black destructive.
"What is your purpose here, demon? And what is your name?"
she paused for a second, her eyes fading from their eerie white, back to cold blackish-green. She then noticed the other girl, and her eyes widened for a moment before narrowing.
"And why, pray tell, are you standing here with a half-angel?"
((heh, don't post so much before I can--it's kinda hard to get back into the flow. I gotta go soon, so make it quick^^))
'Stop looking at me...' She thaught. His eyes were getting to her. "I... I see. Karasen..." She said quickly turning her head. "And I am Tildia." Immidiately afterwards she seen him raise his hand into the air and begin a chant. "What are you doing?" She said suddenly. "Sir. I Mean, Karasen? What-" She felt a violent need to shut-up, so she did, but she kept her eyes strictly on him. "Karasen?" She wispered once more.
((Gah! ^__^ YOUR BACK! Sorry aout all the posting. I'm competitive. lol))
When he began to chant, Neo's hands flew up, the black glowing around them flashing brighter. "Who are you to cast a spell like that?" she asked, rising into the air. Her eyes were white again. "STOP!" she yelled, flinging her hands toward him, sending a wave of powerful, ancient black magic in his direction. She knew that while it may not hurt him much, for she was not as high ranking a demon as he, it still might destract him or something.
As Tildia turned her secertive gaze away from Karasen, she almost smiled again. But the huge flash of magic coming toward her stopped that completly. Suddenly her instincts began to click on one by one, and this determined look took over her face. Tildia took a step towards Karasen and pushed himout of the way spreading her rings and rasing both arms as she grasped her keito. She put it right in front of her body and the blast pushed against it almost knocking the poor girl down.
Finally her 'back-aura' kicked in and consumed her as it helped to repel the attack as well. Bits of ice and sprinkles of water flew this way and that as she attempted to keep it (the blast) from consuming her more than her aura did. Finally, she thrust forward with a sharp-toned, "Kya!" And pushed it back as she gained more energy to keep holding it back. 'I can;t believe i've grown so... Weak.' She thaught. 'I might have to... use the last of my energy just to hold THIS back! And I know she has stronger attacks... What will I do then?' Suddenly, since she hadn't been concentrating on the attack, and had pondered off, her eyes opened wide as it contined on its path. She could only dodge it now. So she ducked, and did the splits as she let her head fall forward and stretched her arms out, letting the attack fly over her. She stayed there in that position terrified, and said to herself aloud, "What the heck, did I just do?" With a confused and lost look on her face.
(forgive me for not posting but my laptop didn't work :evil: and I got home 2 days ago from Arizona at around 12:00 so I was really tired, and yesterday I was out so... please don't act like I just come out of no where again (Des isn't really quiet like that) )
Des had been entertained with the blasting of the guards coming from everyway when the large bird flew in. She sighed and spread out her arm. She said a quiet spell and an invisible force-field surrounded her. Desdemona turned around and watched the woman. She took a few steps forward as Neo blasted Karasen. Her eyes widened as Tildia saved him. "Oh my God," Des said as she closed her eyes and shook her head. "What the hell is a demon doing being saved by a half-angel." She walked towards the three and stood next to Tildia, staring at her. Her eyes widened and she spoke again, "Wait a minute, you aren't-you aren't..." Desdemona looked like she was going to throw up but instead she burst out laughing, "Oh my god, it looks like the pixie (Tildia lol) fell in love with the demon. Awww!" Des chuckled and waited for a response.
Tildia swung her legs around to a stand calmly then blushed as the sound of the other womans voice going through her ear. "What!? No No! No! Nooo! It's.. It's nothing of the sort!" She then placed a hand on her hip and turned her entire body towards her. "I can't help it. I am partially pure you know 1 3rd is alot coming from an angel. Besides I JUST met the man. I only saved him because I was almost made to heal." As soon as she had found reassurence in her words, she got wide eyes and worried wanted to look over to the very Karasen she had pushed out of the way. But something struck fear in her as she thaught, 'I just... I just pushed a... I just... I...' Turing completly towards him now, she said, "I'm so sorry!" As if she had just realized what she had done. Which basically-considering the way her mind works-Is exactly what happened.
"I know." Desdemona told Tildia when she spoke of her species. She had sensed it and well, Tildia's looks pretty much gave it away. When she spoke next Des's hazel eyes rolled. "Oh yeah, I'm sure that's it," Des said sarcastically. She watched as the part-angel turned towards the demon and yelled out her sorries. Then, she turned to the crowd that had given the group great distance since the demon had stolen the now dead, man's spine.
Desdemona turned to look at Neo. "You," She said nodding at Neo. "What are you doing here?"
Neo's anger slowly subsided, and she floated to the ground, her eyes wide in shock and surprise. The angel liked the demon, and saved said demon from her attack. Now that was just....
Neo burst into a fit of laughter as the whole ordeal peiced together in her mind.
"Oh that's just great!" she spluttered, looking at Tildia. "What, did you think he couldn't take care of himself?"
she shook her head, taking about five steps closer, then noticed Des. "Me? I happened to be in the area." To be honest, she didn't want to tell everyone that she sensed a killing by the powerful demon not standing three feet away, and was automatically drawn to it.
"And speaking of which," she said, eyes narrowing, "Who the hell are you?"
Her face went white as snow, then as red as it could get. She had, had quite enough of the two women. "I know he can protect himself. I... I just..." She said soflty... "I do not!" Suddenly her pretty blue eyes went to an immidiate cold white as she balled up her fists. It almost looked as if she were going to attack wot some sort of deadly force. But she ddn't. ildia just calmed herself down and fell to the ground on her knees, then to her rear. She had little left to say as her eyes returned to normal but, " I never expected... Life away from them to be so much worse, than life away from one." Seeming to nevermind it, she sat silently awaiting whatever would happen next. Speaking wasn't helping obviously, and helping wasn't helping. And she still couldnt figure out how she ened up surrounded by demons and hlaf breeds! As these thaughts consumed her head she dazed out (think anime confused ^_^) for quite q while...
Desdemona listened and answered Neo, "I don't see why you need to know. It's not like we're going to be together long." She then turned to Tildia. She watched as her face went as white as ice then red as a cherry (lol). Her eyes turned to the half-angel's fists as they were curled up. Des rolled her hazel eyes as Tildia's turned white. "What're you gonna do pixie?" Desdemona teased. "Hit us with your snowballs?" She felt liked she was annoying her when she noticed the girl fall to th ground. The woman bent down to Tildia's eye-level and crossed her arms. "You're not very tough are you?" She stood straight again and laughed at Tildia.
Tildia simply crossed her arms and tilted her head up in a nobby childish manner. Then she said smartly, "Is that another assumption? Or are you actually asking for once?" The look on her fae had changed arbruptly from snobby to 'Oh god. I might as well...' She then sighed and turned back towards the girl. "Well... No I suppose not. But then it's not like i've had these powers any longer that a day or two. And I havent the slightest idea what just happened a second ago." Realizing she was rambling on, Tildia quickly shut her mouth and sighed again.
"I'd like to know," Neo said in a black voice to Des, "in case I ever come across you again. I like to know all opposition. Especially the rude, ugly ones. They tend to do the most trouble." she glared pointedly at Des, her arms crossed. "You aren't doing anything here, so just go away."
((*caughs*)) Yeah, Sorry about the meaness. ^~
Karasen's eyes shifted to Des quietly, her insults to the half-angel easily being heard. Karasen was getting angered by these insults, also.. He hadn't lost the energy from his spell, though, and only needed to speak one more word to invoke the power. Standing up slowly, he brushed the dirt from his cloak and lifted his palm into the air once again, reaching out with his other arm and pulling the half-angel to him. "Insollen-nirrus revnerax!" As the final syllable rolled off of his tongue, a large, shapeless form of mystical cosmic energy formed several feet above the two of them. Karasen then began to speak in a language not heard since the ancient days. "Coran bi shiran flost!" He shouted, the shapeless energy dropping to the ground in front of him and Tildia, slowly rising, an actual form being created by this energy. Soon, a being of raw cosmic energy stood in front of the two of them, staring down Des and Neo. "Meet Mobius, the ancient creature of nightmares that has been sealed away for centuries within that single spell.."
((lol! 'flost' lol)
Tildia looked up at him, then to the form in the air. Her eyes got as wide as they could, and watery. And she dropped her jaw in amazement. "Gah?" She exclaimed in confusion. "Whats th-" She began to ask as her body lifted from the ground and she stood up as the form touched down. when it did she nearly ran off but something told her she'd be an idiot to. So she just kept looking at 'Mobius' then Karasen then back to Mobius. Over and over again like a puppy choosing between running away or hiding.
Neo shook her head.
"You think that is supposed to scare me?"
her body was completely cloaked as she stared at Karasen. "Has it ever occured to you that that thing," (here she pointed to Mobius) "was locked away for a good reason? What makes you think you can control it?"
((just a warning maelstrom--remember, your character has to have some weaknesses. He may be a really powerful demon, but he isn't satan himself. Please don't make him all-powerful, it ruins the fun for the rest of us. Thanks! ^^))
((oh, and can you kinda tell us what the heck that Mobius thing is?? lol))
Karasen's eyes narrowed as a grin crossed his face. "The Mobius Abomination was created for the one purpose of death, and destruction. But he was sealed away in a time of weakness by the ancient council of this planet.. They hoped for the spell to work for all eternity, but in the instance that it actually failed, a select few of the world's strongest warriors were chosen to be given a scroll containing this information.." He held out a small scroll, the paper creased and wrinkled with great age. "We were chosen to battle the Mobius Abomination if it ever returned. But my dark heart was hidden from the council, and this information of a powerful creature sparked my interest.. After months of research on the creature, it became known to me that the Mobius was only commandable by its creator's language.. The language of the ancients. But in that time, the language wasn't so ancient, and a wide variety of people knew it... I was soon able to... Persuade a small family into teaching me how to speak it fluently. Fortunately, the incantation for the release spell was also spoken in that same language. It took several years, but I was eventually able to find the correct incantation. This is the first time in hundreds of years that this creature has seen this world... And I'm sure he wishes to kill many.." Karasen decided that he would show her an axample of the Mobius' abilities. "Mobius. Curior glordian bladem!" The Mobius' form shifted instantly, the body staying the same, but two extensions shooting outwards. As they quickly flattened, the extentions narrowed off at the end with a bladed tip. "Now, Mobius... Ashickiun!" The Mobius launched itself forward at Neo at a breakneck speed, slashing through the air as the blades extended several feet. The blades had originally been about two feet in length, but had quickly extended further than eight feet, and were still growing, and were aimed for the base of Neo's neck..
(Don't worry, I won't god mode.) 8)
Desdemona glared at Neo. blankly and unaffected obviously by her insult. She blinked and spoke as though nothing seemed to be happening, "So maybe I should be like you and learn your name?" She asked like it was actually a question, turning the insult towards Neo.
All of a sudden Des turned and glared at the demon arise the monster. "Ah..." She said as is disgusted. "You are in love." Putting her hand to her mouth, Desdemona made the motion as if she were going to throw up if she stared any longer at Tildia and Karasen together. She looked away and spoke to the two, "You don't need a monster to fight me. You can make me sick by seeing a demon and half-angel in love," She was speaking when the beast, Mobius, hurled itself at Neo. Shaking her head, Des spoke again, "You need a monster to fight your battles?" A tsk tsk sound came from her as she grabbed at her sword just in case.
Karasen's gaze instantly shifted to Des as he heard her words. "Mobius, shickra!" The Mobius instantly stopped, its blades inches from Neo's neck. Standing straight, the Mobius retracted its blades back, forming two arms and two hands. "What... Did you say.. You worthless piece of rubbish..?!"
Tildia, being a usually polite girl, crossed her arms and stopped looking confused and stupid. She then turned her gaze to Desdemona. "What are you talking about you silly girl?! I already explained the condition and refuse to again." Tildia grabbed her keito happily and swung it to where it just slightly tapped the ground. "I know what your problem is... You've never been in love. Therefore you scoff at the thaught. Your more sorry than I thaught. So many accusations... Yet never a question." Tildia looked over to Karasen and noticed how ticked he looked, then took a slight 'gulp' and tried to ignore it.
The blades stopped right at Neo's neck, and she didn't move until they had safely truned to hands. "Ancient magic created it, so maybe a different ancient magic can block it." she thought, thinking of her own powers. She knew Karasen realized her magic was very dark, and very old--maybe not so much as his, but still just as demonic. And so far no one had commented on her origin--she knew the half angel, the demon, and whatever that other girl was had some sort of power. Her hands began to glow with black energy.
"Don't do it Karasen. It would be very unwise."
her voice was so much of a whisper it was a miricle if anyone heard it.
Desdemona swiped the blade out of its sheath as the monster reared at her. The sunlight against it showed brightly on the metal and the silver design on the handle. She jerked her arm out so the tip of the blade pointed behind her for a quick movement to attack. "Ooh, Scary Karasen." She said mockingly and turned to Tildia. "Who ever said I was never in love? The very reason I despise such a thought was because of it."
Her hand on the large sword's handle began glowing a faint aura of black and navy blue. "Now, Karasen. Turn your beast down." She said with emphaisise on the down part.
"Ah I see..." Tildia simply nodded while her cheeks rose her lips to a smile. "So how did he dump you? Oh no... Wait. He must have slept with someone!?" She seemed to be overly happy at the thaught. "I've heard all these types of storys living with my father. So I can't say i'm an expert but my oh my... He's made you quite the bitter one." She nodded and threw her keito over her should like it had not cutting potential at all, then suddenly it was slowly consumed by a faint blue light and when the light dimmed, it was a bow and arrow set in the same style as her sword.
Desdemona took in deep breaths as Tildia spoke. She attempted to control her anger. Her fingers tightened around the sword. "He didn't dump me." Her glow around her hand turned black magic as her eyes grew cold. "I dumped him." Her hand seemed like it would begin bleeding if she tightened her hand any more. "Karasen," She said through clenched teeth, "put him down" She said each syllable clearly and paused between each word.
Tildia had this odd feeling of wanting to play. Maybe it was because she has a habit of getting people angry for little reasons, and entertaining herself with them. "Oh come on!" She said perplexidly. "If he didn't dum you. Why are you angry? It was your fault, so you shouldn't be so up-tight about it. I mean, honestly, think about it. YOU broke up with HIM. It's senseless to be angry. If I loved someon I would never leave them, even if they loved someone else." She lowered her voice and wispered, "But i'd never stalk, thats just desperate..." Then she went back to yelling her accusations at Desdemona. "So why'd you dump him anyway? What you do that would cause for such a deed? Did he want to leave you?" She paused after all of her questions and said, "Wait... you DID say he didn't dump you. But you DID'NT say he didn't cheat on you.... So was she preetier than you? Was-" She just kept spitting questions as if she'd never get tired of it.
((Is.... that a....llama? :o Woah... That's friggin.... it's all... I mean... IT.... IT.... Oh gah..."))
((hehe, nah, it's a...critter thing. idn't he precious?!)) lol I'm waiting for maelstrom to post.
(Sorry it's taken me so long. I've been REALLY busy.)
As Karasen turned to Des, he ripped his blade from the solid stone ground. "And if I don't..." He said quietly, holding out his hand. "Mobius, incuram de lasortinium parianas!" As he spoke, the Mobius instantly responded by leaping back at him and losing its form completely. As the strange being of cosmic energy engulfed Karasen's body, it began to mold itself to his shape, and then shift its shape into a kind of armor. It was a very gooey type of armor for the moment, shifting and shaping itself all over his body and soon hardening into an extremely protective type of armor. There was a slight amount of Mobius remaining that hadn't been used in the armor, which gave Karasen an idea. "Mobius.. Entirium coras telf sparg!" The remaining bit of Mobius quickly leapt into his unused hand, shifting into a very large sword. "I've called the Mobius off.. As you see..." He said to Des, his eyes hidden by the new Mobius Helm.
Neo blinked. Several times.
((sorry guys, I dunno what else to put. I just felt like i should respond for the sake of keeping neo in the group. lol It's kinda hard to know what to say without anyone talking to you. ^.^))
(XD... You should force us to notice Neo. >.>)
Tildia stood there in confusion... as usual and assured herself her wings were completly free again before she flapped them in a flexing movement once, and adjusted the keito (which i'll state again-just in case-is a bow and arrow set), and stood ina lieniant position as if she didnt care for what happened next.
"Eehh..." She said looking at Karasen. "What the heck? Uh, Karas-" She was pointing now, and abou to ask why he was letting poo consume him, when she figured out that it was just some mystical goo that became his armor. Definately another power of the Mobius. "Oh..." Tildia's face straightened and went back to it's non-shalon way. And what's this? Had she scooted slightly away from, or near Karasen once the goo had started moving? It was impossible to tell do to how near behind him she was already standing... Make that diagonally behind him.
((ok, I'll force you. lol ^.^))
Not the armour ability. Neo didn't know much about this thing the other demon possesed, and she was curious to find out more. And a surprise attack...as no one was looking at her....
Her hands, already glowing with black energy, glowed brighter, and she raised them to eye level. Crossing her fingers in a strange hand motion, she rose into the air...then melted out of sight. Gone, like the wind had carried her away. But not for good...
((sorry guys, but I will be gone til Sunday afternoon. Carry on without me. *tear*))
Tildia's wings ruffled like a chilly breeze was consuming them when she suddenly wrapped her arms around herself and shivvered with a confused look on her face. Then, as if not even a second had went by, her face was no longer shy and admirable, but sly and angry. Like her body knew something she did'nt. Moments passed... and finally the feeling dissolved like an evil little nymph being dripped out her body, and left a blushing, but tired look on her face.
She did'nt bother to look confused. She knew it wouldn't help. More than likely no one would ever be able to explain that event. She couldnt even describe it. So Tildia just stood there innocently as her wings and thier feathers came to a slow stop in movement. And about the only thing that had'nt changed was the new cold aura she seemed to have gained. Invisible, but definately there feel. It was like the wind of 'nowhere' had it's own icy grasp on her. But she didnt take noice of it one bit.
Karasen sensed the cold aura growing on Tildia, his eyes narrowing. As Neo disappeared, he laughed. "Coward..." He said, looking back to Des. "So what are you going to do.. Do you dare try to attack me in this unstoppable armor?"
"She might not, but I will." said a voice in his ear, a mere whisper. Behind him, a swirling black abyss began to form in the air, about 7 feet off the ground. Inside, flashed of different worlds, different demensions, zipped in and out of focus. It slowly began to grow bigger...now about 8 feet wide...
((whee!! I'm baaaacccckkkk.))
((Oh, sorry it took me so long to get back here. (lol) Umm... 'Maelstrom' is probably goin to be gone for a while. His dad... and someother stuff... So uh. I'd like to put this topic on 'pause' till' then, considering it is his and all. ^_^ Thank you! I'll notify you when he returns! ^_^))
